Are you interested in industrial design?
Would you like to affect change?
Shaping the world we live in.
This discipline shapes the world we live in; industrial designers can affect meaningful change and create powerful solutions that improve both human and environmental wellbeing.
Exploring the trans-disciplinary nature of contemporary industrial design, you’ll engage in practical learning through our practice-based design studios, co-creating solutions through a human-centred approach to product, service, and experience design contexts.
70 Years of Industrial Design education.
For over 70 years, Industrial Design at RMIT has offered aspiring designers ground-breaking experiences through technical, theoretical, and applied immersions into the diverse and dynamic fields of industrial design practice. Working on real-world problems in industry and community contexts, this hands-on educational experience culminates in a year-long Honours design research project.
Developing your own design practice.
You will develop a design practice through:
The design of sustainable products, services, and systems
design as a mechanism for enabling social reform and cultural enrichment
commercial and aesthetically-focused approaches to product, transportation, and furniture design
technologically and materially mediated interactions and experiences
the possibilities of form, process, and material in response to rapid technological advances
operating at the intersections of our digital and material worlds
using design as a conduit to address social sustainability, cultural awareness, and the wellbeing of clients, users, and communities
A design studio model of learning.
Centred around a design studio model, you are equipped with unique ways to explore ideas. You’ll also challenge conventional paradigms through engaging with local and international design practitioners, building industry networks throughout your studies.
These life-changing educational experiences culminate in both social and entrepreneurial approaches to design. You’ll gain an adaptive knowledge of making, materials, process, technology, culture, and the environment.
